Is there a +1 size from 265/65-18 Z71 tires?

I wonder if just doing a leveling kit and factory size tires would look stupid??

Sorry, I'm new to my truck and I have a 2wd, but I can't believe that GM would have a 4wd full size truck that couldn't fit 32's on it bone stock. I would have guessed in all honesty that you could go up to a 275/70 without issue, but it looks like that is way wrong after reading some other posts. Wow. Good luck with your search and your tire purchase. FWIW, I have stock 275/55/20's on my truck which equate to almost 32". I would think in a 4wd version I would have more clearance than what I have now.....

The Z71s "offroad" package has less room at the front wheel wells because of the front bumper caps. Yeah go figure .

I ran that way for a little while. It looked funny but not that bad.

Is there a kit to level just the front without having a cali lean? With most kits, it appears that the rear must be raised 1" as well so it levels out.

On a Z71 go with a 2" front spacer and it will be perfect. This is 2" front level with 18x9 XD Addicts, STOCK tires.

Nice! That's exactly what I'm looking for.

What 2" lift did you go with & tires?

 

[InTruckDesign]

Level kit is from Zone, bottom mount...tires are stock I think Bridgestone. All we did was level it, add the Addicts, tint and colormatched bowties...very simple yet set it apart.

I found through some searches, that the lift spacer is roughly 1/2 the amount of lift.....I have a lower spacer that is 1", this should be 2" lift.

I do not want the cali lean so I plan to shave it down to 3/4" thick.

I'm sure someone has done it. If you plan on going this route please post some pics!

Not trying to take over post... But what about 265/70/18 it would add 1" of tire. This is what I would like to do if possible.

265/70/18 is what I run without a lift on an 09 Z71.

please post some pics......

I am currently looking at tires, as mine a have 33000 miles....

I am looking at 3 options.....
1. 285 /65 /18
2. 275 /65 /18
3. 275 /70 /28

my plans are to run a 2" front level only...if it sags, I will look for a 1" rear. I already have the 2" front, so I am using it.

any one with some accurate feed back please chime in.....I will also be running stock wheels.

Now that I think about it...Im pretty sure I'm running 275/65/18's. fwiw here are a few pics. I'll verify size shortly.



No lift/stock rims...fender liners were pulled slightly for clearance and I believe they may have trimmed lower valance some. Tire shop used hd zip ties to pull liners and hold in place. I think I'm going to remove zip ties and use a heat gun to manipulate the plastic to clean it up a little.
